An Oklahoma state rep proposed legislation that would mandate young men get mandatory vasectomies

Legislation was proposed that would make vasectomies mandatory for young men in the state.

Mickey Dollens said on Thursday that he is thinking about introducing the legislation next year.

I would like you to co-author a bill that would require every male to get a mandatory vasectomy when they reach puberty, and only if they have financial and emotional stability.

If you think that is crazy, I think you understand how 50 percent of Oklahomans feel.

The Oklahoma legislature debated a bill that would effectively ban abortion from the moment of fertilization.

Oklahoma's law would be one of the strictest abortion restrictions in the country.

The Supreme Court is considering whether to overturn the landmark case that legalized abortion in the United States. A draft Supreme Court opinion was published by Politico. Associate Justice Samuel Alito characterized abortion as wrong from the beginning.

Until the court hands down a final verdict, abortion will remain legal in the United States. The leaked draft opinion put reproductive rights activists and doctors on high alert.
